«The sky so bright above, urges me to seek what rests beyond the sun,

eyes seek for that I cannot behold, hands for that they cannot clutch»

Each stroke is an invocation. Flesh tears along the inklines and dissolves in symbol. The symbol itself dissolves into shadows.

Logos

In strokes of flesh and blood, terror and dread is conjured.
